My understanding is that it is for the court to decide whether such footage is admissible. It certainly can be used in the development of a case or as part of gathering information. I can clarify that for the Senator. My understanding is that the decision on whether anything is admissible will still very much be a matter for the courts even if this legislation is enacted.
